Nowadays, as autonomous driving technologies are gradually industrialized, we need to explore and develop those self-driving methods with high reliability, good security and dexterity. In order to enable the self-driving system to cope with high-noise, high-dynamic and strong-random traffic environment, the cognitive psychology of human driving process should be introduced to the understanding and processing of the sensor data, combining with the deep learning technology that plays significant roles in various fields, to develop self-driving methods.

Deep learning technology has made tremendous progress in solving the problems of traditional artificial intelligence and computer vision. With the development of on-board computing platform, more and more computing hardware of high performance and low power consumption come to available, which makes it possible to apply deep learning methods to the study of self-driving vehicles. Currently, many researches have successfully applied the deep learning technique to the problem of visual perception. However, how to use the deep learning technology to deal with heterogeneous sensor data, and how to apply deep learning methods to sensor fusing, driving policy deciding and path planning, are still in the incipient stage of exploration. The purpose of this workshop is to attract more researchers to further apply the fundamentals of deep learning technology and cognition of human brain to the development of self-driving systems, working towards autonomous methods with higher security and robustness.
